East Rutherford, N.J.

Suspended cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie met with New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo Thursday morning and was told that his suspension is indefinite. Neither Rodgers-Cromartie nor McAdoo was immediately available for comment.

Players can be suspended a maximum of four weeks under the collective bargaining agreement.

The Giants suspended Rodgers-Cromartie on Wednesday for leaving the team facility before practice. He had been told by McAdoo on Tuesday night that he would be inactive for Sunday night's game in Denver because he left the bench in the second half of a loss to the Chargers and went to the locker room. He later returned.

He told ESPN that he left the building because he was upset. He said he argued with McAdoo on Sunday during the game. The coach told him Tuesday that he would have to practice this week despite being inactive.

Cowboys: A federal appeals court in New Orleans cleared the way for the NFL to impose a six-game suspension on running back Ezekiel Elliott over domestic violence allegations, siding with the league in its fight over its ability to punish players for off-field behavior. Further appeals were possible.

Rams: Linebacker Alec Ogletree has agreed to a four-year contract extension with Los Angeles through the 2021 season.

Eagles 28, Panthers 23: Carson Wentz threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns to help Philadelphia beat Carolina to improve to an NFC-best 5-1. The Eagles turned two interceptions deep in Carolina territory into 15 points. The Panthers are 4-2.
